Technical Problems Ruin DVD, 13th Oct 2011

Reviewer: FUESS GREGORY T

This DVD recieves 1 star only because it is difficult to discern from the DVD whether the content of the is accurate or not.

The DVD Skips and Stops frequently. When the DVD stops, it does so for long enough that I forgot the topic being discussed. The skips are frequent and distort sound, making it difficult to understand what was said.

The production value of the DVD is poor. All filming was done outdoors, and no auxiliary lighting was used, making important demonstrations of various topics difficult to see because they are in shadows.

After several skips and stops, I tried to clean the DVD with a damp cloth, but that had no effect on the operation of the DVD.

**Please note, if you purchase this product and your DVD(s) skip, you may contact Quarter Horse Outfitters to receive replacement discs. -QHO Staff

Excellent Instructional Video, 26th Oct 2011

Reviewer: FUESS GREGORY T

I am impressed by both the Quarter Horse Outfitters and this video. My first experience was marred by a bad DVD, which was full of skips and freezes. The first DVD I received rendered the instruction impossible to follow.

But Quarter Horse Outfitters shipped out replacement DVDs without charge and these were free of defect. The instruction and video are excellent, though some of the examples were filmed in shadow the audio explains the various points so that the lesson is easily understandable.

I would recommend this series to anyone who would like to learn more about training horses, or about bringing out the best in their horse.

Quarter Horse Outfitters is free to delete my earlier review.

Poor Production Quality, 13th Oct 2011

Reviewer: FUESS GREGORY T

The poor quality of the DVD makes use of this DVD difficult. The DVD stops and skips, making for difficult viewing and understanding of the message.

Additionally, because the DVD was filmed outdoors, apparently without auxiliary lighting, seeing what is discussed is difficult. Much of the detail occurs in the shadows, enough so that much of the purpose of the DVD is lost.
